Doing something before Lighter Life

Just after your advice really, Im due to start lighter life on the 11th January! which im really excited about! I dont want to continue now eating rubbish and feeling rubbish! I was thinking about doing slim fast prior to lighter life to get into the routine of having shakes etc! do you think this would be a good idea or should i just wait to begin LL

tbh i would just try and eat a bit more healthily. i know its frustrating waiting, but to put yourself through the 'hell' of slimfast seems a bit pointless -- you will feel hungry, grumpy etc - once you start LL the weight will drop off so fast and you don't get the hunger feeling you do on slim fast.

reduce your carbs a bit possibly the week before, but spend your time reading as much stuff good and bad about LL so when you start you are an expert on what to expect -read the reviews, google it, read peoples blogs etc

Lost 10 stones on LL/Exante a couple of years ago, have regained several stone so giving WW a go.

Agree with the others - like Daisy say's, you will feel hungry on Slimfast and could lose your oomph for starting LL in gear. Just eat less/no bread, potatoes etc. Try and cut down on sugary stuff and booze and you should hit ketosis less painfully.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Agreed, I cut my carbs, wine, all the bad things before I started and it really helped me get into ketosis faster and have less carb withdrawal symptoms! Also read, read, read about LL, get yourself into the right headspace, plan some goals, do some visualising of your new slim life, write a letter to yourself about why you want to do this!!
